This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60/070,029 entitled "Dual Baseline Texture for Guide/Stiction Performance Improvement," filed Dec. 5, 1997, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to the texturing of magnetic data storage media, and more particularly to the texturing of dedicated transducing head contact zones (also called landing zones) of such media to reduce transducing head flying heights while also minimizing stiction.
Laser treated magnetic disks, particularly those textured over areas designed for contact with data transducing heads, are known to reduce friction and improve wear characteristics as compared to mechanically textured disks. Traditional laser texturing involves focusing a laser beam onto a disk substrate surface at multiple locations, forming at each location a depression surrounded by a raised rim as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,062,021 (Ranjan) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,108,781 (Ranjan). An alternative, as disclosed in International Publications No. WO 97/07931 and No. WO 97/43079, is to use a laser beam to form domes or nodules, rather than rims. In some cases, each of the domes is surrounded by a raised rim. The features can have either circular or elliptical profiles.
Collectively, the texturing features form a texture pattern or distribution throughout the head contact zone. A particularly preferred pattern is a spiral, formed by rotating the disk at a controlled angular speed while moving a laser radially with respect to the disk. The laser is pulsed to form the individual texturing features. The disk rotational speed and pulsing frequency together determine the circumferential pitch, i.e., the distance between adjacent texturing features in the spiral. Meanwhile, the radial speed of the laser controls the radial pitch or spacing between subsequent turns of the spiral. Frequently, the circumferential pitch and radial pitch are approximately the same, e.g., 20-30 microns. This spacing results in multiple texturing features cooperating to support a data transducing head at rest in the landing zone, given that the length and width dimensions of transducing head sliders typically are in the millimeter range.
The texturing features themselves can be made with a high degree of uniformity in size and shape, by maintaining a consistent laser power, focal spot size and pulse duration. As transducer glide heights (flying heights) continue to decrease, particularly below 1 microinch (25 nm), it becomes increasingly difficult for a texture to accommodate the glide height, and at the same time minimize stiction. The following table illustrates different measurements of three values, all in nm: an average height of multiple texturing features (Rp); the standard deviation of the height (σ); and the measured glide avalanche. Glide avalanche occurs when a measured signal output exceeds a certain threshold, indicating that the transducing head is flying "too close" to the surface.
Glide Avalanche
From the table, it is seen that to avoid undue risk of collisions of the transducing head with the texturing features, while at the same time maintaining a flying height of about 25 nm, the average height of the features should be less than about 20 nm.
At the same time, the need to minimize friction and stiction imposes limits on the minimum heights of the texturing features. Typically, a liquid lubricant is applied to the surfaces of magnetic data storage disks, to improve wear characteristics and reduce dynamic friction. However, the liquid lubricant has the undesirable effect of contributing to stiction, the tendency of a data transducing head, once at rest against a magnetic disk, to adhere to the disk. This provides at least momentary resistance when the disk begins to rotate, potentially damaging both the disk and the transducing head, and risking loss of data.
A primary cause of stiction is the tendency of the liquid lubricant, through capillary action, to flow about and surround the texturing features in contact with an at-rest transducing head, even flowing to the head itself as indicated in FIG. 1, where h indicates the height of a data transducing head when at rest upon the texturing features, two of which are shown. The texturing features, nodules or bumps, are flattened slightly by the head over an area of contact with a radius r. By comparison, rm is the radius of the liquid lubricant meniscus surrounding each texturing feature, with each feature having a radius R at its base. The value d represents the thickness of the liquid lubricant film over surface areas away from the nodules. Thus, a meniscus of the liquid lubricant surrounds each texturing feature, occupying the full height between the transducing head and disk surface, clinging to the transducing head to provide momentary resistance to disk acceleration.
As seen in the chart of FIG. 2, the stiction effect increases dramatically as the height of texturing features decreases below 12 nm.
In view of the above, one option for achieving a I microinch glide height while minimizing stiction appears to be maintaining texturing feature heights within the range of 13-19 nm. However, given the lack of absolute precision in laser beam generation and optical components that focus and otherwise shape the laser beam, variance in substrate materials and parameters, and variance in the slider bodies that aerodynamically determine transducing head flying heights, the required degree of control is not practical. Further, when the heights of texturing features are reduced, their diameters are reduced as well, and it may be desirable to maintain larger diameter nodules or other features to enhance structural stability.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a substrate for a data storage medium having a landing zone textured to accommodate glide heights less than 25 nm, while simultaneously minimizing stiction.
Another object is to provide a landing zone surface texture utilizing larger texturing features with greater heights, in combination with recessed regions surrounding the texturing features to accommodate liquid lubricant and thereby counteract the tendency of capillary flow toward a transducing head at rest on the landing zone.
A further object is to provide an improved process for texturing substrates and for fabricating magnetic data recording media to exhibit improved resistance to stiction despite lower transducing head flying heights.
Yet another object is to provide a data storage medium having improved wear characteristics and the tendency to afford increased longevity to data transducing heads used in conjunction with the medium.
To achieve these and other objects, there is provided a substrate for a data storage medium of the type including a data zone for storing data and a landing zone textured for contact with a data transducing head maintained in spaced apart relation to the data storage medium during use. The substrate includes a substrate body having a substantially planar substrate surface at least over a landing zone thereof. A recessed region is disposed within the landing zone, and has a substantially planar recessed surface spaced apart inwardly from the substrate surface by a predetermined distance substantially uniform throughout the landing zone. Multiple texturing features are formed in the recessed region and are projected outwardly from the recessed surface by a projection distance which exceeds the predetermined distance. Consequently, the texturing features project outwardly beyond the substrate surface of the substrate body.
This texture can be conveniently thought of as a "dual baseline" texture, in that it provides two separate baselines: one with regard to transducer flying height, and the other with regard to meniscus formation. In particular, the meniscus formation or "stiction" baseline is the recessed surface of the recessed region. To reach a transducing head at rest in the landing zone, a liquid lubricant would be required to traverse the height of each texturing feature, beginning at the base of the texturing feature, i.e., the recessed surface.
In contrast, the baseline for glide height or flying height is the geometric mean of the substrate surface and the recessed surface. By forming the recessed region as a small fraction of the landing zone, e.g., one-third of the surface area or less, the geometric mean is substantially nearer to the substrate surface. Accordingly, the texturing feature heights, as they relate to transducing head flying height, are effectively reduced by a fraction (preferably at least one-half, more preferably at least two-thirds) of the "predetermined distance" between the substrate surface and the recessed surface.
Thus, the benefits of reduced transducing head flying height and reduced stiction are simultaneously achieved, and in degrees that can vary according to design considerations. For example, by setting a projection distance, or texturing feature height above the recessed surface, at slightly more than 12 nm, stiction can be kept acceptably low while extremely low, sub-microinch flying heights are achieved. Alternatively, the texturing features can be formed to project beyond the substrate surface by slightly less than 20 nm, to maintain an acceptably low flying height while considerably diminishing the chance for stiction due to meniscus formation.
Preferably, the "predetermined distance" or separation between the substrate surface and recessed surface is at least about 5 nm, and more preferably is in the range of about 5 to about 10 nm.
To further ensure against meniscus formation, there should be a clearance between each of the texturing features and the nearest edge of the recessed region, as measured in directions parallel to the substrate and recessed surfaces. The clearance should be at least 3 nm, and more preferably is about 5 nm or more.
Another aspect of the present invention is a process for selectively texturing a recording medium substrate, including the following steps:
a. providing a substrate body having a substantially planar substrate surface;
b. applying a material layer over the substrate surface at a substantially uniform thickness, whereby an outer surface of the material layer is substantially planar and parallel to the substrate surface;
c. selectively removing portions of the material from the material layer within a predetermined zone thereof, to provide a selected region with a recessed surface disposed inwardly of the outer surface of the material layer; and
d. forming multiple texturing features throughout the selected region, each texturing feature projecting outwardly away from the recessed surface and beyond the outer surface of the material layer.
A preferred material is carbon, applied by vacuum deposition to a thickness of about 5-10 nm. Then, a laser (e.g., a CO2 laser) is used to remove the carbon at selected locations or spots. Preferably, the laser ablation removes the carbon throughout the thickness of the carbon layer, thus leaving the substrate body, e.g., a glass ceramic, exposed. As a result, the thickness of the carbon layer provides the uniform separation distance between the substrate surface and the outer surface. Then, another laser (e.g., a YAG laser) is directed onto the exposed substrate surface areas to form the texturing features, preferably in a one-to-one correspondence to the areas of carbon removal, and preferably with the texturing feature centered within its associated carbon-depleted spot or location.
At this stage, texturing of the landing zone is complete. As an option, that portion of the carbon layer spanning the data zone of the disk is removed.
Next, post-texturing steps of disk fabrication are completed. These include the application of several further layers to the textured substrate including the data zone and landing zone. These layers include a chromium underlayer, a thin film magnetic recording layer, and a protective cover layer, typically carbon. These subsequent layers are applied by vacuum deposition and in substantially uniform thicknesses, such that the outer surface of the protective carbon layer replicates the topography of the textured substrate.
Thus, in accordance with the present invention, the landing zone of a data storage medium substrate is provided with separate, spaced apart baselines with respect to transducer flying height and stiction. The separate baselines are provided by forming a recessed region within the landing zone, and forming texturing features only within the recessed region. Consequently, the features can have actual heights, with respect to the stiction baseline, sufficient to minimize stiction due to meniscus formation, yet also have effective heights, with respect to the non-recessed substrate surface, sufficiently small to accommodate sub-microinch transducer flying heights.
For a further appreciation of the above and other features and advantages, reference is made to the following detailed description and to the drawings, in which:

Turning now to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 a medium for reading and recording magnetic data, in particular a magnetic disk 16 rotatable about a vertical axis and having a substantially planar horizontal upper surface 18. A rotary actuator (not shown) carries a transducing head support arm 20 in cantilevered fashion. A magnetic data transducing head 22 (including magnetic transducer and air bearing slider) is mounted to the free end of the support arm, through a suspension 24 which allows gimballing action of the head, i.e., limited vertical travel and rotation about pitch and roll axes. The rotary actuator and the support arm pivot to move head 22 in an arcuate path, generally radially with respect to the disk.
At the center of disk 22 is an opening to accommodate a disk drive spindle 26 used to rotate the disk. Between the opening and an outer circumferential edge 28 of the disk, upper surface 18 is divided into three annular regions or zones: a radially inward zone 30 used for clamping the disk to the spindle; a dedicated transducing head contact zone 32; and a data storage zone 34 that serves as the area for recording and reading the magnetic data.
When the disk is at rest, or rotating at a speed substantially below its normal operating range, head 22 contacts upper surface 18. When the disk rotates at higher speeds, including normal operating range, an air bearing or cushion is formed by air flowing between the head and upper surface 18 in the direction of disk rotation. The air bearing supports the head above the upper surface. In accordance with this invention, the distance between a planar bottom surface 36 of head 22 and upper surface 18, known as the head flying height or glide height, is about 1 microinch (25.4 nm) or even less. Lower flying heights permit a higher density storage of data.
For data recording and reading operations, rotation of the disk and pivoting of the support arm are controlled in concert to selectively position transducing head 22 near desired locations within data zone 34. Following a data operation, the disk is decelerated and support arm 20 is moved radially inward toward contact zone 32. By the time the disk decelerates sufficiently to allow head/disk contact, the head is positioned over the contact zone. Thus, head contact with other regions of the disk surface is avoided. Before the next data operation, the disk is accelerated, initially with head 22 engaged with disk 16 within the contact zone. Support arm 20 is not pivoted until the head is supported by an air bearing, above the contact zone.
Magnetic disk 16 is formed by mechanically finishing an aluminum or glass ceramic substrate disk 38 to provide a substantially flat upper surface. Typically in the case of A1 substrates, a nickel-phosphorous alloy has been plated onto the upper surface of the substrate disk, to provide a non-magnetizable layer 40 with a uniform thickness in the range of about 2-12 microns. Following plating, the exposed upper surface 42 of the Ni—P alloy layer is polished to a roughness of about 0.1 microinch (2.54 nm) or less.
After mechanical finishing, substrate surface 42, at least along contact zone 32, is laser textured to provide a desired surface roughness. Laser texturing involves melting the substrate disk at and near surface 42, forming texturing features as will be described in greater detail below.
Fabrication of disk 16 involves the application of several layers after texturing. The first of these is a chrome underlayer 44 with a typical thickness of about 10-100 nm. Next is a magnetic thin film recording layer 46, where the data are stored, typically at a thickness of about 10-50 nm. The final layer is a protective carbon layer 48, in the range of 5-30 nm in thickness. Layers 44, 46 and 48 are substantially uniform in thickness, and thus upper surface 18 replicates the texture of substrate surface 42.
Laser texturing involves forming discrete nodules (also called bumps or domes), or crater-like structures in the form of depressions surrounded by raised, rounded rims that are typically circular but can be elliptical, in the substrate disk at surface 42. The size of the texturing features depends on the level of laser beam energy impinging upon surface 42, the degree of focusing of the laser beam, and the duration or dwell time of the pulse during which the energy is applied. Typically the nodules are formed in a spiral path, having a circumferential pitch governed by the disk rotational speed and laser pulsing interval during texturing. A radial pitch, i.e., the radial distance between consecutive turns of the spiral path, is determined by disk rotation and the rate of radial shifting of the laser relative to the disk, which can involve movement of the disk rather than the laser. The texturing features can be formed with a high degree of uniformity in height (distance between the nodule or rim peak and the surface on which the feature is formed) typically less than about 30 nm. This provides a uniform surface roughness, substantially throughout the contact zone.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part of upper surface 18 of disk 16, particularly within contact zone 32. A roughness or texture is provided by multiple nodules 50, spaced apart from one another according to a predetermined circumferential and radial pitch as just discussed. Nodules 50 do not project upwardly (or outwardly) directly from upper surface 18, however. Rather, each nodule 50 is formed within a cavity or depression 52, preferably at least approximately centered within its associated cavity. Typically, cavities 52 can have a diameter of about 20 microns, while the nodules have diameters of about 8-10 nm.
A variety of cavity diameters and nodule diameters can be employed, and each nodule need not be precisely centered within its associated cavity.
As best seen in FIG. 6, nodule 50 is projected above or outwardly of the major plane of upper surface 18, so that multiple nodules in concert support data transducing head 22 in spaced apart relation to most of surface 18 when head 22 is at rest in the contact zone. Also as shown in this figure, each cavity 52 has a floor or recessed surface 54 spaced apart inwardly from upper surface 18, and a generally upright peripheral wall 56. Nodule 50 need not be precisely centered within cavity 52. At the same time, the clearance between nodule 50 and peripheral wall 56, taken horizontally as viewed in FIG. 6, should be at least about 3 nm, and more preferably is at least 5 nm. The clearance is provided to accommodate the liquid lubricant, in particular to counteract the tendency of the lubricant to form a meniscus about nodule 50 that proceeds toward transducing head 22 when the head is at rest upon nodules 50.
The primary difference between the texture of contact zone 32 and previous textures is that nodules 50 project upwardly from recessed surfaces 54 rather than from upper surface 18. Consequently, the texture provides two spaced apart baselines, that in previous designs coincide. In particular, each recessed surface 54 determines a stiction (or meniscus formation) baseline with respect to its associated nodule 50. The flying height baseline is determined by upper surface 18 in cooperation with recessed surfaces 54. More precisely, the flying height baseline is the geometric mean of surfaces 18 and 54. Because the primary advantages of the invention arise from the vertical separation between the two baselines, it is preferred that the flying height baseline be determined primarily by upper surface 18. Such is the case when a recessed region, composed of all cavities 52 within the contact zone, occupies less than half of the contact zone surface, and more preferably occupies less than one-third of the contact zone surface. A result of the latter case is shown by a broken line 58 indicating the flying height baseline.
The dual baseline texture permits the use of nodules or other texturing features with heights sufficient to minimize or avoid stiction due to liquid lubricant meniscus formation, and simultaneously allows for sub-microinch transducer flying heights. Either of these advantages may be emphasized relative to the other. With reference to the foregoing discussion of minimum texturing feature heights necessary to avoid meniscus formation, nodules 50 could have heights slightly greater than 12 nm, for example in the range of 15-18 nm. Assuming a vertical distance of 5 nm between surfaces 18 and 54, the nodules would project beyond surface 18 by distances of 10-13 nm, easily accommodating sub-microinch transducer flying heights, especially if the flying height baseline substantially coincides with upper surface 18. Conversely, if a flying height of about 1 microinch is satisfactory and the primary goal is to virtually eliminate stiction due to meniscus formation, nodules with heights in the range of 20-23 nm are formed. Again assuming 5 nm between surfaces 18 and 54, the nodules project above surface 18 by distances in the range of 15-18 nm.
More broadly, the texturing features project outwardly beyond surface 18 by less than about 20 nm. At the other end of the scale, the nodules preferably project outwardly from surfaces 54 by more than 12 nm. These constraints afford considerable variety, particularly in view of the options to provide different separation distances between surfaces 18 and 54, and to provide different proportions of contact zone surface area occupied by the recessed region.
FIG. 7 schematically illustrates a laser texturing apparatus 60 used to form dual baseline textures in magnetic media substrates such as substrate disk 38. The device includes a support stage 62 that rotates about a vertical axis 64, and a reciprocating support stage 66 on which support stage 62 is rotatably mounted.
Two lasers, both stationary, are disposed above disk 38 and the support stages: a CO2 laser 68 and a YAG laser 70. Respective beam shaping optics are associated with the lasers, including collimating lenses 72 and focusing lenses 74 for bringing the laser beams, indicated at 76 and 78 respectively, into focus at desired locations on substrate surface 42 of disk 38.
In one particularly preferred fabrication approach, a glass ceramic substrate disk 38 is first treated in a vacuum deposition process in which a uniformly thick carbon layer is applied onto surface 42. The preferred thickness of the carbon layer is at least about 5 nm, more preferably in the range of 5-10 nm. The result of the carbon deposition is a carbon layer 80 of the preferred thickness, shown in FIG. 8.
The coated disk then is placed on rotatable support stage 62, centered on axis 64. Then, while stage 62 is rotated to achieve a desired circumferential speed, support stage 66 is translated to provide the desired radial velocity. The CO2 laser 68 generates beam 76 at a wavelength with a high affinity for absorption by carbon. As a result, energy applied to carbon layer 80 at a particular spot or location remains largely confined to that location and extends through the thickness of the layer. As a result, material is removed to leave a generally circular cavity extending completely through the carbon layer to surface 42. Thus, surface 42 becomes the recessed surface 54 in each of the cavities. The result of the CO2 laser treatment is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Thus, the CO2 laser is used to create a recessed region composed of multiple cavities 52.
After the cavities have been formed, the substrate disk is given a second laser treatment, this time using YAG laser 70. The translation parameters (rotation and radial translation) of the CO2 laser treatment stage are repeated, so that a single texturing feature is formed within each of cavities 52. The result is shown in FIG. 1. Also shown in FIG. 11 is a texturing feature in the form of a generally circular, rounded rim 82 surrounding a depression 84. This crater-like texturing feature is frequently formed as an alternative to the rounded nodules or bumps, with the laser power and degree of focus largely influencing the shape of the texturing feature.
After texturing, a series of vacuum deposition stages are completed to form several layers on the substrate disk, including chrome underlayer 44, thin film recording layer 46, and protective carbon layer 48. The result is shown in FIG. 12.
In the foregoing fabrication process, carbon layer 80 is applied over the entire disk, covering both data zone 34 and contact zone 32. According to an alternative embodiment process, that portion of carbon layer 80 covering the data zone can be removed, e.g. by a masking and etching stage, leaving the substrate surface in the data zone exposed as indicated in FIG. 13.
FIG. 14 illustrates an alternative embodiment substrate disk 86, particularly its contact zone. In disk 86, the recessed region is provided in the form of a single spiral groove 88, formed by operating CO2 laser 68 in a continuous wave (CW) mode rather than a pulsed mode, or in the alternative rotating the disk just slightly between successive pulses. An advantage of this approach is that less precision is required in the subsequent laser treatment stage that forms texturing features 90. A disadvantage is the need to remove a substantially greater percentage of the carbon layer.
Thus, in accordance with the present invention, substrates can be textured to accommodate glide heights of less than a microinch, and not only avoid increasing stiction, but further minimize stiction due to meniscus formation. Nodules and other texturing features that otherwise would be too large for a desired glide height, can be used successfully in the dual baseline texture. Accordingly, lower glide heights and improved resistance to stiction can be simultaneously achieved.

The room was quite. Nice comfy bed! Good breakfast.
noisy children there for a birthday party, running in the lobby.
Everything was great
Lower price than neighborhood hotels and the best hot water
AWFUL bed hard as rock, staff made you feel like you had to prove a right to be there, chips patches on walls tub furniture, musty smell hit you coming in door and entering room it smelled like must and smoke covered with an awful cheap air freshner, had to use febrile and air spray. Pushed to the back to park with no elevator. Asked for wake up call said no system, um but I guess we could call you. Would not save the money and go to holiday Inn with pool and nicer room and most comfortable bed
Hotel was quaint and clean. Staff was extra caring when my car broke down in their front drive. Allowed my husband who drove 2+ hours to help me out to stay for free.
Breakfast didn't look appetizing, went next door to McDonald's.
The room was a nice size and the public areas were in the lobby area.
Halls were hot and humid; the toilet wouldn't flush properly and the evening front desk staff brought up a plunger for me to use. (Really, if you are paying for a room that has faulty plumbing I thought it would be the staffs' responsibility to fix it.)
There was nothing better to look for. I do not understand why this hotel was not rated much much higher. Everything from the service to accommodations was excellent
I could not stay longer

You blame Microsoft?
They are rather notorious for not following the developer guidelines and painting themselves into corners.
Never dealt with Microsoft when I was at Apple. Your guess is as good as mine as to how they botched it.
How many patents do you have, sunshine?
Fiorina's not stupid.
Stupid? Maybe not. Incompetent? Hell, yeah. Just ask anyone who worked at Lucent, HP or Compaq.
Amazon can decide what they will and will not offer to the public. Why is this even news?

Don't forget Colin Ferguson.
It means that a nutjob who wants to kill people can generally count on unarmed victims.
They only care about one thing; getting what they want as cheaply as possible,
You say that like it's a bad thing, comrade.
Go ahead, try to come up with some reason why customers should put up with an inferior product or service when a superior one is available.
I'd take Uber over the USPS any day of the week.
Oh, how very clever of you. Yeah, that sure makes me sympathetic to your obsolete business model. I'll delete the Uber app and put up with shitheads like you driving me around from now on.
I'm the customer, you guilt-peddling moron.
Blow it out your ass. I support Uber because I use their service, and my first-hand experience tells me that they beat taxis all to hell.
McCarthy didn't kill anyone. Beria sent his enemies to death camps.
Who would stop people from buying superior transportation services on a voluntary basis?
Fuck the taxi cartels and the governments that support them.

Summer Legal Intern
Tomorrow marks the 30th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision, Plyler v. Doe, which declared that immigrant and citizen children alike should have equal access to public education. The effect of the Court's decision was especially pronounced in Texas. The case followed passage of a state law that denied school districts funding for the education of undocumented students and authorized charging tuition based on a child's immigration status. Justice Brennan articulated the Court's reasoning: "By denying these children a basic education, we deny them the ability to live within the structure of our civic institutions, and foreclose any realistic possibility that they will contribute in even the smallest way to the progress of our Nation." In effect, the Court reinforced the idea that principles of fairness, rather than one's identity, should dictate educational access.
Thirty years after Plyler, immigrant students continue to confront obstacles that impede their full contribution to their communities and society. Texas remains a battleground. Although it was the first state in the nation to offer in-state tuition rates to undocumented students, efforts to repeal the law persist. Even students who manage to obtain higher education often are unable to apply their skills and knowledge because of the roadblocks they face due to their immigration status. These circumstances call for consideration of comprehensive immigration reform and enacting measures such as the DREAM Act, legislation that would establish a path to legal status for immigrant youth who pursue higher education or complete military service. As of 2008, there were an estimated 258,000 potential DREAM Act beneficiaries in Texas.
While Plyler had a major impact on the ability of immigrant students to obtain an education, significant challenges continue to prevent them from becoming full members of society. Addressing these challenges will be critical to ensuring that these youth can contribute to our nation's progress, as envisioned by Justice Brennan, and ensuring that Plyler's promise is fulfilled.

North American Architecture Trends: 1990-2000 (Skira Architecture Library)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
There are some considerations that emerged in taking on an analysis of the last ten years of North American architecture in relation to a political, social, and economic context that is subject to a sweeping metamorphosis.
A decade of changes in which architecture struggled to offer images that properly represented it, if not through an appeal to virtuality capable of responding immediately and not without problematic issues to the repeated demands of reality.
A decade that was born under the axe of economic crisis and which ended in the spotlight of an unprecedented productive and financial expansion, conveyed by the affirmation and spread of the Internet on a world scale.
A decade that began in the shadow of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the riots of Los Angeles and that ended with the further globalization of America's political role and a growing awareness of a multiracial society.
A decade during which projects that had been conceived and designed in the Eighties were slowly brought to completion, experiencing first the effect of "S, M, L, XL', then the effect of Bilbao-Gehry, and all the while the results of a globalization of ideas and projects that, as never before, has led so many American architects to work and to obtain a definitive consecration in Europe and Asia and, at the same time, so many Asian and European designers to work in North America.
These years show that the diverse architectural cultures that inhabit the United States are increasingly taking on an awareness of their own role, distant from the traditional centres of academic development and at the same time an image of social and economic realities in expansion.
This volume attemptsto open a window on this dimension in flux that is also of great interest by offering a selection of projects built in the Nineties by North American architects in America.
A decade which marked an important transitional phase and the metamorphosis of the work of the Ame
This book contains a selection of 18 projects completed in North America by American architects and offers the broadest possible overview of the vast and complex architectural output of the 1990s.
This decade marked an important transitional phase and the metamorphosis of the work of the American masters of the 1960s and 1970s (e. g. Robert Venturi, Cesar Pelli, Charles Gwathmey) with the full affirmation of new masters (e. g. Frank Gehry, Steven Holl and Peter Eisenman) and the emergence of new generations represented by Asymptote, William and Tsien, Ro. To. and Erik Owen Moss.
This journey through contemporary American architecture also tries to tell of a new geographical complexity no longer restricted to the major urban centres - the traditional locations for avant- garde architecture e. g. New York and Los Angeles. It has thus been extended to show the work of the Patkau group in Canada, Will Bruder in Arizona and Antoine Predock in New Mexico as new examples of research attentive to traditional production and to the context. Also of interest are the various building types represented, ranging from new museum complexes (e. g. Richard Meier's Getty Center, Robert Venturi's ethnographic museum in Seattle and Frank Gehry's Weisman Art Center) to residential projects (e. g. Erik Owen Moss's Samitaur, a New York residence by William and Tsien and the Carlson- Reges residence in Los Angeles by Ro. To.) and a number of public works such as Bruder's new library in Phoenix, the extension of the New York Stock Exchange by Asymptote and Steven Holl's chapel of St. Ignatius in Seattle.

Last week I gave a talk on networking and satellites to the MIT One Laptop Per Child group. (see http://www.laptop.org, http://www.olpcnews.com for gossip, and http://www.olpc.tv for some videos) The night before I had been laying under the clear dark sky at my cabin in Wisconsin, and it occurred to me that somebody ought to port Stellarium to the OLPC XO laptop. No doubt somebody like http://www.timothyferris.com would tell you how important it would be to children in the developing world. I suggested this to several OLPC folks, and everyone agreed... it was an excellent idea, but they are totally swamped just getting the XO out the door with the basic functionally. The display on the OLPC is outstanding... and there may be some nifty tricks you could do to leverage its very high contrast high resolution screen... I would bet that if someone in the Stellarium developer community were to offer to undertake a port, that the OLPC folks would supply an XO or two to do it on... I think the OLPC website has information on how to propose such a project. Good luck! Thomas Jacobson

The Dugout - O'Leary: Vermaelen to solve defensive problems
EXCLUSIVE: Former Arsenal star David O'Leary believes the return of Thomas Vermaelen will help cure the Gunners of their defensive vulnerability.
You have recently finished working in Dubai for Al-Alhi: how was that experience and what is the standard of football like?
"It was a fantastic experience. They are working hard to improve the standard of football in Dubai. The most successful team is the one with the same owners as Manchester City, Al Jazira. They had a coach with a three-year programme and he had time to build things and he did really well."
Having experienced football in the Middle East, what is your view on Qatar being awarded the 2022 World Cup?
Personally I was surprised that Qatar was awarded the World Cup for a couple of reasons. I've been to Doha many times and I love the place. But to have a World Cup with all the stadiums situated around Doha would be like having a World Cup in and around somewhere the size of Leeds.
The other reason is the time of year, which is already being talked about . I don't think the time of year should change, the World Cup should be held when it is always held. There's no point now trying to get into a debate about how warm it will be when everybody knew that when the tournament was awarded. When I was managing in Dubai we had to adjust to the climate and alter our preparations accordingly. We trained at night, at about half nine in the evening, but it could still be a cool 41 degrees. We would kick off friendly matches at midnight in the summer, and the temperature would still be getting on for 40 degrees at that time of year. What they will have is fantastic stadiums which will be purpose-built.
Are you looking for another job in management, and if so where would be your preferred location?
Yes, I would love to go back into management. I would go back into management this afternoon if I got the right job. You tend to get jobs at the moment which do not have much purpose in them. I hope to get offered a good job. The Dubai job came out of the blue, I thought to myself 'let's go and experience something new'. I had been there on holiday, but it was nice to go and experience a different culture and a different type of football. If I could go abroad again somewhere, and it was the right opportunity, I would love to do it. So I'm up for any challenge if it's the right challenge.
Despite having a proven and consistent record of success in management Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been criticised in some quarters. What are your thoughts?
Arsene Wenger is a fantastic manager. When I left Arsenal we were a big club but Arsene Wenger has moved them onto another level. They've even built a bigger stadium because they outgrew the old stadium. He has been amazing in that way. Everybody knows they play great football but they haven't won anything in recent years which people keep referring to; they will know they need to put that right. They have started to leak more goals but I am sure they will be working to rectify that as well.
Why do you think Arsenal have conceded an uncharacteristically high number of goals this season?
First of all I'm an Arsenal fan so I have to put my loyalty to one side. They can play great football, but consistently they have conceded too many goals and shown frailties in defence. When they are one up, they might be dominating the game but you often feel the other team has got a great chance of equalising. Bringing Mertesacker in will give them a bit more height which will help when they concede free-kicks and corners. I think other teams know when they play Arsenal that they are vulnerable in that position, and that gives them great heart.
You were a world class defender; who do you view as Arsenal's ideal central defensive partnership if everybody is fit; who impresses you?
The main two are Vermaelen and Mertesacker. The others are lads that can fill in, really. Koscielny does ok but I don't feel that he's going to get into the best teams that Arsenal are playing against at the moment. Mertesacker is a good reader of the game, but pace wise I sometimes fear for him a little bit. Once Vermaelen comes back from injury they'll form a stronger partnership together. They look like probably the strongest pair they have had at Arsenal for a few years.
Upfront you can see Arsenal's reliance on Van Persie. He is an amazing player, and if they were to lose him it would be a big blow. You see what he does when he's on the field, and what he does when he comes off the bench. I hope we're proved wrong, but his injury record of staying fit over the whole season unfortunately hasn't been great.
The contract issue with Van Persie is potentially a difficult one.
Arsenal are a great club and they'll be able to offer him a fantastic deal. But he may be thinking to himself: 'Are Arsenal going to win anything, can I go to a club that has a chance of winning the Champions League and could maybe offer me an even more amazing contract than the one I'll be offered at Arsenal?' I hope that he stays at Arsenal for many seasons to come .
How pleased are you to see Leeds United in contention for a return to the Barclays Premier League?
I think the city itself is such a fanatical football place, that if they get back into the Barclays Premier League it will be booming more. Everybody looks forward to the game on a Saturday or in midweek, and it's unique in that it's the only big city with just one club. Everyone supports them, and it would be fantastic for the city, the supporters and the Premier League. But the Championship has got a lot of good teams and is very difficult to get out of. I thought they would get into the top six last year and was disappointed for them that they didn't. The first step for them this year is to get into the top six and you just never know in the play-offs.
Are you frustrated that Leeds's fall from grace has overshadowed the team's remarkable achievements under your management; you did after all lead them to the semi-finals of the Champions League?
They've had a lot of managers since, and they can all give their own opinions. The Leeds United fans treated me fantastically well and it's sad where they went to from where they were, but eventually I think they will get back in the Premier League, consolidate and move on. I think it will be fantastic for the Premier League if Leeds get back in. I hope that comes sooner rather than later.
What lessons can be learned from the club's decline after you left?
Whoever is running a football club has to make sure it is sustainable - you can't expect to get into the semi-finals of the Champions League every year or rely on television revenue every week. You have to set your budgets so that what you need to keep the club going every year is not an unrealistic target. That's what good chief executives do. In many ways that's what Arsenal do, and yes they might take criticism for it, but they spend what they can afford.

OAK BROOK, Ill. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic say a common condition called leukoaraiosis, made up of tiny areas in the brain that have been deprived of oxygen and appear as bright white dots on MRI scans, is not a harmless part of the aging process, but rather a disease that alters brain function in the elderly. Results of their study are published online in the journal Radiology.
"There has been a lot of controversy over these commonly identified abnormalities on MRI scans and their clinical impact," said Kirk M. Welker, M.D., assistant professor of radiology in the College of Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "In the past, leukoaraiosis has been considered a benign part of the aging process, like gray hair and wrinkles."
Leukoaraiosis, also called small vessel ischemia and often referred to as unidentified bright objects or "UBOs" on brain scans, is a condition in which diseased blood vessels lead to small areas of damage in the white matter of the brain. The lesions are common in the brains of people over the age of 60, although the amount of disease varies among individuals.
"We know that aging is a risk factor for leukoaraiosis, and we suspect that high blood pressure may also play a role," Dr. Welker said.
Dr. Welker's team performed functional MRI (fMRI) scans on cognitively normal elderly participants recruited from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging between 2006 and 2010. In 18 participants, the amount of leukoaraiosis was a moderate 25 milliliters, and in 18 age-matched control participants, the amount of disease was less than five milliliters.
